Most people are quite happy being ignorant in their computer use. The man is making valid point in saying Linux, even the most user-friendly distributions, require more computerskills than many people have and -most importantly -are willing to learn.
Offcourse most things are easily done using Linux, once you know how to. The point is, for Linux truly to be a success more functionality should be easily done, even if you are merely a 'trained monkey'. It is easy to suggest people should smarten up and stop wining, but they really won't. I believe Linux developers and users alike should face up to this fact to stand any chance in the 'battle' against other operating systems. Also, I believe they have done this for the most part and hopefully KDE4 and the next Gnome release will once again be a little more 'monkey-friendly'<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;).
